Project Summary
Goodwill’s current shipping process includes a lot of intermediaries that can be eliminated and make the shipping process much more cost efficient and productive. In order to do this, we designed a rack that can be attached to the inside of truck walls using the slots that are present on the sides of the truck. The racks are removable, which means that Goodwill does not have to purchase their own fleet of trucks in order to use the racks. In addition, we also redesigned the z-rack so that the bar of the z-rack would be detachable and could be used for the bar of the rack. This reduces the cost of the rack as well as make it easier for employees to move clothes back onto z-racks in store since they can transport entire bars onto the store racks rather than having to unpack and rehang all the clothes. The redesigned process would allow for more clothing items to be transported while saving more money per shipment.
